Dear Pat,
Iris hexagona grows in south Florida in "Cypress Heads". These are low areas
with water where cypress trees grow. The iris grow during the winter while
the trees are leafless and start to flower as new foliage is starting on the
cypress trees in March. It is a real neat experience to visit these sites
where this occurs with iris.
